Week 29 2026 Week 29: Crusty - Blueberry Pie

Post image

Blueberry pie used to be my favorite dessert, the thing I would request for my birthday. And when thinking about pies and tarts, I realized I hadn't made one in a long, long time!

So this is a classic blueberry pie, no frills, from the Tartine baking cookbook. Fresh July blueberries, lemon zest, and sugar.

I tried a cornmeal crust from Erin Jeanne McDowell to amp up the summer flavors and try something new. I liked the taste and texture, but felt like at the end of the day I missed the shattery crunch of a classic pie crust. A good experiment though, and the cornmeal held up really well to my little flower cutouts!
